Tails from the Bark Side

Day 10: A photo of you taken over ten years ago.



My two best friends and I at our school prom, 1998.

Day 11: Your favourite photo this year.



So, SO many. This year's been brilliant. But I love this one of Dhanie's thinky-face, at Stevie's christening in March.

Day 12: Your favourite website this year.
sherlockbbc_fic. Pure fun. I love the hell out of those guys and I've wasted SO many days hours there, laughing my head off.

Day 13: Your Christmas list.
Silly doggy stuff, mostly.

Next door's electric has gone off! The wind is crazy. My lights were flickering. How exciting.

Day 05: Your favourite book this year.
I assume it's the best book I've read this year rather than the best book released this year? I really enjoyed The Book Thief and Everything is Illuminated.

Day 06: Your favourite food this year.
It's all about cheese scones from the Tea House in Lyndhurst. And pancakes.

Day 07: Your week, in great detail.
Starting from last Wednesday? Ummm. Woke up, got out of bed, did I have a shower? Nope, I was lazy. I lazed around my (brilliant, gorgeous) house until 1pm, looking for Christmas presents and stuff online. I might've read some stories, can't really remember. I went out at about 1pm, drove to Southampton, cleaned a house, walked Holly and Lucy the labs, cleaned Zoe's house in Botley, did loads of ballet, drove home... or did I go to the pub? I think I went to the pub for some wine? I really can't remember. Thursday - much the same, cleaning in Wilton and Amesbury, Sarah and Dave's and the Winny. I went home and put my rubbish out, then Steve came round... I think we went to Sainsbury's. Rock and roll. On Friday I popped into Mum's office and blagged a new mop, then cleaned Murphy's house and went to meet Tam who was having trouble convincing Alfie that she was a nice doggy walkerer. He was terrified when she turned up to walk him, so I had to go and help! The big wuss. I think we got there in the end, 'cause after a while he let her stroke him and took treats from her, but I don't think he'll go for a walk with her just yet. What a numpty! Then I went home, and went mad with Christmas gubbins again; ordering presents, planning food for my gathering, etc. Oh and I braided my hair.

Saturday - I lazed around... honestly I can't think of anything I actually do in these 'lazing around' sessions. It's like a void of time-suck. I just internet and read, really! Actually I totally went to the market with my hair still in braids. I bought bananas and grapes. Oh I did some laundry! Lots of laundry. But it kept raining so I had to keep bringing it in. Then I spent ages doing awesome make-up for the gig that night in Southampton. Then at 4:30 I went to the gig, played the gig, drove home from the gig, had a couple of beers at Dave's, walked home, bed. On Sunday I made Christmas cards. On Monday I went to the post office and registered with a local doctor. I bought a massive bag of spuds and some yoghurt for Didz (his tummy is bad!) Then I came home, had a snooze, lazed around. Tuesday I got up, went to Southampton, cleaned a Millbrook house, walked Holly, Lucy and Murphy in the park where we met lots of new friends, cleaned Anna's house, cleaned Dan's house and cleaned Nina's house (and did her ironing). I went to watch the last week of term at dancing, and that was lovely. Then I came home, via the chippy, and watched Eastenders and Hollyoaks while eating donuts.

Today I worked my bum off with two huge deep cleans, Zoe's house in Botley, and a walk with Holly and Lucy. THAT'S IT.
